Fellow-men of the Negro Race, Greeting:
I write to you today with a deep feeling of confidence and hope. I believe there is no real Negro in any part of the world who has not realized that he is now at the point where he must make up his mind to go forward in the urge of greater racial accomplishments.
I trust to each and every man to now play his part in rising out of the rut. The tremendous forces of the world that seek the domination of men's minds and bodies are determined to deceive the Negro and force him into a sense of false security with the dominant idea of trampling upon his soul's ambition to be a man.
Our civilization has reached such a state of moral corruption, that no one race can afford to entrust to another its hopes, desires and destiny.
I feel that there is no Negro in any part of the world that would for one minute think and believe that the other races are interested in us as a people other than to exploit and use us in the furtherance of their aims.
Racial selfishness has become the practice of all the scattered groups of humanity, and I, as one who suffers and feels with the millions of my own, cannot but make the appeal to you for a closer getting together to stem the tide that flows against our common interest.
I am glad that certain things have happened, and especially to me, so as to compel those of you who have been sleeping upon your intentions to realize that now, more than ever, the hour has struck for true racial pride, fellowship and emancipation. How many of you really know that every attack that has been made upon me, and everything that has been done to me, was all done against you as Negroes and not so much against myself as an individual.
The vicious sweep of my enemies upon me was only a mild expression of their hate for the black race; they pounced down upon me not because I am Marcus Garvey, but because I am black and sought to liberate black men. Every drive they made at me, every hateful thing they have said against me, was all done and said with the hope of discouraging you from going forward.
What intelligent man in the world who studies the programme of the Universal Negro Improvement Association can honestly find fault with the plan of trying to improve the lot of humanity? This is all in a nutshell that we seek to do, and when white and colored men can bend their energies to make a fool of the one who leads such a cause,
Negroes of Africa and the World Must Be United in One Federation of Nations The Wheels of Industry Will Hum
Leader Reminds Negroes That the Enemy Was Not Striking at Marcus Garvey, but at: the Newly Found Hopes of Universal Freedom
PRESENT-DAY CIVILIZATION IS SO CORRUPT THAT NO ONE RACE CAN ENTRUST ITS DESIRES AND DESTINY TO ANOTHER
Brightest Day of Racial Success Is Ahead-Nogroes of the U. N. I. A. Are Trying to Improve the Lot of
it is time enough for any one to see the hateful attitude of others toward us as a struggling people.
The desire to crush, imprison, and discourage me is but a desire to crush, imprison and discourage the efforts of the Negro to help himself. But my confidence in the four hundred million Negroes in the world is too great to believe that they, at this time, would allow a few white men and other Negroes to crush their hopes of universal freedom.
The narrow-minded of the white race, and the viciously disloyal of the colored race, may move hell and damnation in their wickedness to keep back and suppress our racial growth, but I feel sure that with God's grace we shall continue to rise above their obstacles until Africa is free and the black man emancipated everywhere.
We hope for all that is encouraging and good. The little trials and troubles of the past are but tests of our worth to go, forward to a greater future and a firm destiny. There is no Negro who is worth his salt who will falter or turn back in the great cause of the Universal Negro Improvement Association. We are all going forward. Our eyes, hearts and minds are set, and not even hell itself shall say us nay.
A few selfish and narrow-minded white men may try to embarrass us, but what do we care? The great heart of white humanity shall, when the truth is known, condemn them for what they are, and so also shall the Negro traitors fall from their positions of deception, falsehood and lies.
The great urge is to look up and march forward, for the brightest day of our racial success is ahead. I personally feel happy in realizing that there is so much good to be done for black humanity. You may depend on me that I
shall never forget my duty nor desert you. In life and in death I shall husband the great cause which is dearest to my heart and nearest to my soul.
We are now planning for the great International Congest thing ever attempted and put over by black men. It vention in August, 1929. This convention shall be the big-will take us fully one year to have every detail of the great conclave worked out, but be assured that when we meet next as one compact body, we shall so impress the world, as to make all mankind realize that the real Negro is here. We are going to have ships, and still more ships; we are going to have factories, and still more factories; we are going to make the wheels of industry hum, and still they shall hum; and ultimately we shall have the Negroes of Africa and the world united into one Federation of Nations, so that with other races and peoples we may march forward to the destiny that is reserved for all mankind.
During my absence from the United States of Ameri-
ca, I ask that all the American Divisions, in the 48 States, give their loyal support to the Hope-East Knox who is nationally carrying on as a personal representative of the President-General until the next convention, at which time we will elect our new leaders. Mr. Knox is acting for me in America as President-General, while I am organizing the whole outside world for the biggest of all conventions. Hold up the hand of Knox. See that the Negro World and the School in Virginia function as they ought, so that when we meet in 1929 our record will be one of Universal success. The Conventional Programme will appear in another few weeks, so that you may know what to look forward to. In my next message, which will be dated January 2, I shall make public the names of the District Leaders in America who are to work under the direction of Mr. Knox to line up all America for the convention in 1929, as we outside are lining up all Africa, South and Central America, the West Indies, Asia and Europe.
Be of good cheer. The great day of the Negro is in view, and we, under the leadership of God, shall surely get there.
With very best wishes, I have the honor to be,
Maranfaney
President-General, Universal
Negro Improvement Association.

Cheered to the Echo by Assembled Thousands in Jamaica Theatre as He Delivers Masterly Address on His Activities and the Tactics of Enemies of the Race in America Came to U. S. and United Negroes Who Hated Each Other Because of the Accident of Birthplace
KINGSTON, Jamaica, Dec. 21—Hon. Marcus Garvey, President-General of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, now in the island of Jamaica, British West Indies, continues to be almost the exclusive topic of conversation in church and school, hut and mansion, at street corners and in the sanctuaries of the mighty in this British possession. No incident within living memory has so fired the imagination of the populace and put-pup in their very strides as they go about their daily avocations as the return of the famous internationalist to them, fresh and full of fight after shameful incarceration in a United States prison.
On Sunday night, December 18, all roads again led to the Ward Theatre, where Mr. Garvey was billed to speak. By the time the meeting began every inch of standing room was occupied, many persons being forced to be context with "outside tigers."
Mr. Garvey spoke on his "Advent, work, persecution, indictment, conviction, appeal, imprisonment and liberation in America."
Alderman Dr. E. E. Penso presided and among those on the stage, in addition to Mr. Garvey, were Miss Henrietta Vinton Davis, Messrs. S. M. Jones-High Commissioner, Mr. C. D. Johnson, President of the Kingston Division of the Association, Rev. W. E. Barclay of St. Thomas, Mr. H. B. Green (Chapain), Mr. Erlington, First Vice-President, Mrs. Jones, Lady President, and Miss Gunter, Lady President from Nassau.
Alderman Penso opened the proceedings and was followed by Rev. W. E. Barclay, of St. Thomas, and Miss Henrietta Vinton Davis.
The renowned leader's address was as follows:—
ADDRESS
Mr. Chairman, Lady Davis, High Commissioner, President, Johnson Members and Friends of the Kingston Division of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, Fellow Citizens, I am pleased to welcome you back to the Ward Theatre to hear me tonight. I am not going to deliver an oration; but will recite a narrative, in which I will explain my activities in the country known as the United States of America. You have heard so much, bearing on the work of the organization that I represent, and about myself, that a large number of you naturally are curious to see a man late from the pententary. You are curious because you do not understand. It is my duty to explain to you tonight, so that you may understand that the prison, the gallows and the gallolion have been the agencies through which human referees have been brought about (hear, hear). I happened at this late hour of our civilization to represent a new reform movement; a historical movement that seeks the freedom of 400 million black men, women and children. It is not an easy task. Those of you who are acquainted with history will readily realize that, we have a tremendous task before us. Much has been said misrepresentative of the aims and objects of its leader, but I may point out to you the inductible words of William Coburn Bryant:
again.
The eternal years of God are hers.
But error, wounded, writes in pain,
And dies among his worshipers."
(Applause!)
Arrived in the United States.
My school for tonight is: My Advent.
Work, Persecution, Indictment,
Conviction, Appeal, Impulsion and Liberation is: the United States of America.
In 1914, leading in New York on the 22d of March, My purpose was to carry out a program that was started
In Jamaica in 1914 under the auspices of the organization known as the Universal Negro Improvement Association and African Community League. After a lengthy correspondence that great man of America, Booker T. Washington, who founded the Tuskegee Institute in Alabama, I was invited by him and others to visit the United States in furtherance of the work I had started in Jamaica. Just about the time I was ready to go I received news of the death of Dr. Washington. I therefore deferred my visit from November of 1915 to the spring of 1916. On arriving in the city spring of 1916. On arriving in the city of New York in the Little district of Harlem where, then, about 100,000 Negroes lived, I met a few of my countrymen and a few West Indians who had been living there for some time. They thought that I had come specially to advocate the cause of West Indians. At that time the West Indians who were living in America made the American Negroes understand that they were not Negroes but Indians, and the American Negroes, who were very ignorant of the geography and history of their own race, believed that the West Indians were a branch of the Indian race, so that the West Indians were getting by as Indians.
Pulling Against Each Other.
You all know how the different West Indians despair each other, how the Jamaican despares the Barbarian and the Barbarian despares the Jamaican, and all the other Islanders hate each other to the point where, in America, they would not assimilate. They worked against each other, and the American Negro worked against them and they were all piling against each other. The Universal Negro improvident Association was founded in the 1860s in the United States in South America in Central America in all the West Indian Islands and in Europe, seeing well the need for greater unity安慰 the black people of the
world. It was because of that urge to unify that I came back from England to Jamaica and founded here in 1914 the Universal Negro Improvement Association. So when I arrived in Harlem in New York the Jamaicans thought that I had come to speak to them especially. But I disappointed them, and I spoke to the Negro people, and I told the Negro people of Harlem, including Americans, West Indians—Negroes all—the truth of their history. I told them that we were one, the same branch of one human family; that it was only a question of accident what made some of us American Negroes and others West Indian Negroes. I told them the slave trade, as it was instituted, brought from Africa Negroes, millions of them, against their wish, and distributed them in the British colonies, the French colonies, the Spanish colonies of the Western world without any regard for geographical boundaries, from whence they came or to the places to which they were taken, so suited the slave trade to the slave market in Virginia, told them, or in any part of America, the African husband would be sold in Virginia, and if it suited the whim and caprice of the slave master in Jamaica, the African wife would be sold in Jamaica, and the two who were one would go away separated against their wish or will. The American Negroes remained in bondage for 250 years and the West Indian Negroes for 230 years.
You who know your history know that you were liberated in the British islands through the good services of Victoria the Good; and the American Negroes were liberated in 1865 through that great man, Abraham Lincoln. Therefore, the American Negroes and the West Indian Negroes are one, and they are relics of the great African race which was brought into the western world and kept here for 300 years. I told them in Harlem that it was my duty to reunite the Negroes of the Western world with the Negroes of African, to make a great nation of black men (applause). And I offered no apology then when I spoke in Harlem and I offer no apology now (hear). If it is right for white men to divide themselves into national entities like the German nation, the French nation, the Italian nation, the English nation, the American nation, then it is right for the Negro peoples of the world to divide themselves into an African nationality (applause). And Marcus Garvey in America, in Jamaica, in England, in France or in Italy shall stand on the same platform and tell the world that the time has come for the black man to be regarded as a man. (Applause.)
Studied Conditions in U. 9.
That was my work, that was the nature of my work in the United States of America for ten years. Before I started properly the propaganda, as explained, I first traveled through thirty-eight States in the Union. I traveled through thirty-eight States, making a sociological study of the condition of Negroes in relationship with other groups. In America we have many different races. We have minority groups living there, America, as a country has 115 million people, and 15 million are colored people; we call them colored in America and we call them Negroes, but when we say Negroes we mean all from the black man right up to the border of the white man. We accept that and we work on that, but out here the classification is a little different. When we say Negro we mean the black man or the brown man, but not that other fellow that you can mistake for somebody else. He presents a Negro poor fellow, because he doesn't know any better. One day he will be glad to be a Negro like anybody else, because the Negro is going to return to his own and no one is returning at a rapid rate (hear, hear). He is proud of himself. (Anlausse). I tell you, bring into the Ward Theatre tonight two billion dollars, make the order of being President of the United States or king of any country in the world, and say: "Gateway, we will make you this if you be) come white, and you can be white, we can make you white," and I would say: "Go away, I am proud of being black." (Anlausse.)
"To Be Black is to Be Honest"
To be black in the twentieth century is to be honest, because for the last 2,000 years the Negro has to his credit all that God would desire from his creature. He has no murder, no theft, no wholesale robbery attached to his history, but on the contrary he has been robbed and murdered, and abused all down the line. Who would not be proud, therefore, of such an honorable race? (Lord apud apud.) A race that was so noble that when they sought to someone to be sent to the Church someone next as perfect and as worthy as the Church, to help Him
in His last agony, and misery in the world, they looked to you. They looked to the Greek and turned away, they looked on the Roman and turned away, they looked on the Etruscan and turned away; and then God Almighty from heaven, through His direction to His angels, turned the Simon of Cyrans and said: "Help the Christ with his Cross." (Appaheuse). The black man has been the inspiration of the world ever since God Almighty said "Let there be light"; and not only the black man, but his country, has been the solace of the world. When in the infant stage, they ran the Christ out of Judeen, where did God advise that they take Him for protection? Not to ask, not to Europe, but to Europe, not to Europe (father of Appaheuse). Therefore I am proud to be a black man. (appaheuse); it is an try to make it a disgrace, but God Almighty knows it is an honor, and it is because of that honor why I am proud to be one like you.
U. N. I. A. Brought Into Being
I took me, after I had traveled
through thirty-eight States, one year
on my return to New York to organize
the New York division of the Universal
-Negro Improvement Association
I appealed to the hearts and to the
souls and to the minds of the Negroes
in Harlem and they-responded: I
cannot go into minute details because
the subject is very lengthy, taking in
so many branches, and I desire to give
you the satisfaction for 'coming to
hear me, so I can't go into minute
details of my early organizing work in
the Negro community. I will be
first year I organized and brought into
the Universal Negro Improvement
Association one million Negroes. (Ap-
plause). That was between 1918 and
1929 after traveling through thirty-
eight States--you know there are
forty-eight States.
THE BLACK STAR LINE, JNC.
In the latter part of 1929, after having organized so many into the Universal Negro Improvement Association, I was directed by them to launch the Black Star Line "a steamship committed mainly to the Universal Negro Improvement Association." In doing that I only carried out the orders of the members of the organization. When we started, the doubtful Negroes you will always find them everywhere—and the discouraging of other races it could not be done—black men couldn't run ships. "Some Negroes were as important to pay you money," he said. "white men, so how could we run ships?" (Laughter) They tried to discourage us, but we went forward and we proved that the Negroes could run ships. They asked, "Where are you going to get a crew, where are you going to get a Negro captain?" You in Jamaica saw the first ship of the Black Star Line, the steamship "Frederick Douglass"—proof to the world. We worked on it in 1929 and by August, 1920, we had two million Negroes as members of the Universal Negro Improvement Association.
The First Great Convention
The First Great Convention
Then it was that we called, the first great convention of the Negro peoples of the world, and then my troubles started in the United States of America. Without any immodesty in that I am explaining my work, I would of you that I happened to be the first and the most important time, in one place, one building, 25,000 people. That was at the opening of the International Convention of the Negro peoples of the world at Madison Square Garden in August, 1920. For the first time in the history of the world a black man was able to bring black men from all parts of the world, in their thousands, to attend an international conference of the race. Men came from all parts of Africa, from Central and South America, delegates came from all parts of the world—I believe you sent a man named Stewart—and we had a parade in Harlem that was ten miles long (applause); a procession which made an entire circuit of Harlem. That is to say, we had a starting point and a starting point where we started, and when the first line marched around and came back to the starting point after traveling ten miles they came in time to see the last line march off—and they were marching in ahead (found applause).
Something New in Nogrodom
That opened the eyes of the world that something was about to happen in Nogrodom, and something did happen when I appeared at Madison Square Garden that night and mounted the rostrum to speak to the 25,000 assembled delegates and members. It was a wonderful scene, and it was written down in the history of Madison Square Garden. Madison Square Garden is over 100 years old and that gathering was recorded as the third greatest celebration held there. Many great celebrities have been held there, most of them have been in attendance. There were political conventions held there to arouse, the people from certain fears, and the 1939 convention of the Universal Flower Improvement Association held third place among them all. That night we I spoke I looked down upon an anecdote of reporters from the rostrum, reporters representing every press in Europe, every press in South America, the German press, the
Due to the holidays this paper goes to press one day late for Christmas and New Year issues. Mailings are also one day late for the same reason.
Italian, French, Japanese, the Chinese, Hungarian press were all there. The British Redditors, the Associated Press, the United Press, the Illustrated Press, every branch of the newspaper profession was represented there, reporting what I had to say. I spoke until about 11 o'clock that night, and the wires were kept busy. They were all eager to hear news of the new Negro who gave expression to himself at Madison Square Garden that night. The wires of Europe became busy about this little Negro, the black man from Jamade, and they started to hound me down from one part of the United States Government got me to investigate me; all manner of Secret Service people were set after me, and 20 per cent. of my employees were the United States Secret Service. I believe. I must have cost the United States Government about five million dollars in ten years.
A Costly Single Proposition
I happened to be a costly single proposition, but nevertheless I was not disqualified to anything American, to anything British, or to any constituted government in the world. All I ever interested in was the liberation of the people who look like me. I set out on that platform at Madigan Square Garden as I stand uncompromisingly on this platform now. I have not rested one inch, have not changed my ideas one bit, for I am as firm tonight as when I made my advent into the United States, and with the blessing of Almighty God I shall be as firm the day that I am laid in my grave as I am tonight. (Applause). Nothing in the world shall change me but God himself, and of my experience I am determined. No matter contrary to my belief, because my belief is founded upon a hard and horrible experience, not a personal experience, but a racial experience. The world has made being black a crime, and I have felt it in common with men who suffer like me, and instead of making it a crime I hope to make free virtue. (Applause). That was all I had in mind when I traveled from one part of America to the next.
Government in America
For ten years the American Government was unable to get anything on by way of sedition or disloyalty. When I say the American Government I want you to understand that government is only executive control exercised in the interest of those governed. Government exists only by the will of those governed, and when government fails to express the wish or desire of those, governed, those who are governed change the government to suit themselves (hear, hear). Sometimes in America we have a Republican government by the choice of the people and sometimes a Democratic government by the choice of the people. Then sometimes the President is elected by a small and mongre majority of his party followers. In a country with 115 million people the people may do a very small amount of voting. Seven million votes was all the last President elected got, leaving 105 million people who had not expressed their will. Then the government goes into action by the mandate of but seven million out of 115 million people. So it does not mean always that the President expresses the entire will of the people, because he was elected by a majority of his party, but naturally he officiates as head of the government and during the time he and his party are in control of the government all the people have to abide by what they do and say. They are supposed to be in power for four years and if in that four years they do things not satisfactory to the people who put them there, at the NXC election they put them out, of power but while they are in power they can do anything. They can make war they can steal, they can lie, they can put anybody in prison, they can do anything to any individual person. There is really no appeal, because each judge is generally in line with the government in power, and an appeal is only appealing to the same party.
From Gaese to Caesar
If the President is against you for personal reasons, then it is a foreign conclusion that the chief justice is against you so that if you complain against the attitude of the President it will simply appealing from the people to America. It is a question of party politics and men. Now it happened that I was never in politics. I was just a Negro and that was not a very easy thing to be in America. When I want to America and the Negroes were Republican, so to speak, because they believed in the party of Lincoln, who freed them.
happened that I had a lot of power in Harlem, where we had 25,000 members and I represented a tremendous power amongst the Negroes in the country, and you know a man will make mistakes sometimes. Well, it happened that John F. Hylan was running for the position of mayor of New York City and a man by the name of Alfred Smith was running for governor of New York. He was a ticket. New York was, somewhat Democratic, before and they were determined to carry the State because it was a hot year in politics.
Some of my friends investigated me to give Liberty Hall to Governor Smith and John F. Hylan. I never thought much of the thing and so I did it. They asked me to speak. I did so and every Negro who used to vote Republican, voted Democratic because I told them to do it. Then the great Republican party turned on me. I kept New York Democratic among Negroes in influence had there I went for two years. I went to Atlanta. They broke my power there only after they had me locked up for two and a half years. The Negroes went back Republican only two months ago. In America certain states are Democratic, even though they have the Federal government, of Republicans. The whole country is never Republican or Democratic at the same time. Sometimes twenty of the states may be Republican, and the rest Democratic or 25 Democratic and the rest Republican, yet the Federal government would be Republican. Up to now, every Negro who used to cause my friends' power, they did not do me anything. They knew that nothing could be done in New York, and the only way of forcing me out would be by the Federal government at Washington, which was Republican.
"A Bogus Charge!"
It was with this idea that they set up a bonus charge against me of using the mails to defraud, which was a Federal violation and could only be tried in a Federal court, and not a Democratic State court, where the Democrats would be in power. Now to be able to get that indictment what did they do? They couldn't get the indictment against me through the Universal Negro Improvement Association because the U. N. I. A. was and is a fraternal organization. We had a constitution and book of rules, the officers were properly elected and they acted by direction given in the book of rules, the constitution, so it was almost impossible for them to indict me through the Universal Negro Improvement Association. Now it happened that I, by virtue of my position as President General of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, became president of all the auxiliary movements and so, automatically, I was president of the Black Star Line.
Trying to Silence the Leader
Trying to Silence the Leader
The Black Star Line was a business organization, chartered to do business in a certain way, and the laws in America are atilt on business corporations. Well, we started the Black Star Line, and they pried to hustle us as much as they could. I am not saying this, of the government themselves, but I am saying this of the government were involved in that and many governments were involved in that, because of the speech I made on the 1st of August, 1920. They were then scared and believed that Garvey represented too much. Black people, white people, governments all turned and wanted to silence me so that I could not advocate the cause of Negroes. They decided to set me through the Black Star Line. I in common with the other directors, conducted the business of the company. We had hude, a hold statement to the world that we were going to prove black men could run ships, to prove black men could run ships, to prove black men could honor was at stake, the honor of the race was at stake, because we made that statement and other people said we could not do it. We got the ships and we got black men and placed them on the ships—you saw them when they came here. That was all we as directors could. When we placed them on the ships we as directors, and done our duty, and it was for them to so conduct themselves as to uphold our honor. They did not.
tu to bring her back and spend another $25,000. dollars again. It was not 24 hours after she was put in condition again that we heard the boat was stranded in Cuba, and we had to send her on to Jamaton to be reconditioned there. She was not out of Kingston six hours before they broke up her engine again, and I had to send and reft her again. It was not long after that they wrecked it again and that boat is now lying at Antilla, Cuba, a total loss of $200,000. Well, in that way they handicapped the company. You remember when I was out here. I got permission to leave the United States-for thirty days, but no sooner was I gone than they kept me up altogether, and now we who lived there break up the organization. They kept me up for five months. I had to use certain powers to get my passport signed. I had to get Mr. Hughes, who with a friend of mine, and President Harding, to sanctify my return to the United States, and by the time I not back they had robbed half of the assets of the Black Star Line.
The Business of Indicting
The Business of Indicting
The whole lot of them were surprised
to know that I had landed in New
Orleans, even the employees, and I was
not there two months before, the gov-
ernment indicted me for using the
ballet as a guide of the Black Star Liner. Well, they were out to get nobody else but Garvey. It was a big corporation, having a regular
board of directors and all the regular
officers according to law, yet the
only person they indicted was Garvey.
Then they thought it over and said:
Well, we will change the indictment;
but they indicted me first to get to
into their hands the books of the
corporation. They could not get the books
of the law, but they could not get the
legal warrant and they could only got
a legal warrant by indicting one of the
offers.
They indicted me and they seized the books of the Corporation, and after they seized the books, this is what they did. They sent out a questionnaire to every member who had stoked in the Black Star Line, asking questions, like those: "Do you know Marcus Garvey? Have you invested in any of the business enterprises fostered by Marcus Garvey? Were you promised any dividends? Are you satisfied with your investment? Have you any complaints to make? That was sent to 35,000 people and out of the 35,000 they got 15 people to say that they were not satisfied, and they had got no dividends. When they got the statement from these people, they amalgamated back to the Grand Jury—that first indemnity did not mean anything, but to allow them to get the books. But when they not those statements, they went and indemnified Garvey and three other officers of the Black Star Line—you see they couldn't do otherwise but bring in the other men for a sham. They returned an indemnity with 26 counts. They thought that I would have matched my baggage and run out of the United States, but I paid them no attention, whatever, because I knew my conscience was my guide (hear, heart).
Organization_Grow, Notwithstanding
I paid no attention to the indictment; I went about my business just as I did before, and the organization drew in more Negroes than ever (applause). When they saw I wouldn't leave, they said they would call the case, I said: Go ahead, I want you to try it now. And so Marcus Garvey George Toblins, Bill Guevara and Orland Thompson were called. And just by way of explanation, I might tell you that these three colleagues were in with the government to let them out and get Garvey. I knew of it, but I paid no attention whatever to them.

the ate ofithis issue is December 31. If he is the sort of person
that keeps [files of his favorite newspaper he will observe upon
seferring back to it that our first issue for this year was. dated
danwaury 1b This is, of coursé, purely accidental, but we like to
think that it:has some sort-of significance. It is symbolic of the
fact that TRE NEGRO WORLD is on the job from first to- last
and ell the the in between. 7 . —
" -As “a newd§aper devoted solely to the interests’ of the Negro
race,” we hope te accomplish much this coming year of 1928. In
2 spiritual way Wwe Hope to continue. the almost superhuman tasic
- of. orousing ‘the Negro to a sense of his true racial value. We
hope to continue educating the massés of our people toward
thinking in terms of nationhood and self-goverament. Wé hope
to so keep before him his truco sosition in modern world affairs
Sas to inspire him with the determin..ton te’ change that position
for the better. . : 7,
-In a material way,-we hope soon te put the paper back: in. size
to where it was-before circumstances forced us to reduce it. There
has been much thet we wanted to say during these past few months
that we.could not say becsuse of tack of space in which to say,
it. And there have been excelient contributions from the pens
of. various scripus-mirided men and-women of the race that we
sould not reproduce in our pages forthe same ‘reason. Even in
the matter of the exchange of views between Negroes in different
: rs ‘of the world, as represesnted in the “News and Views of the
. N. EA. Divisions,” we have been handicapped in that we had
not the usual number of pages in which te afford them expression.
All that we hope to remedy. And fot.the early accomplishment
of these objectives we continue earnestly ‘to. solicit your support.

D those'who are young in years but «wise in the wisdom of the
world. The death of Dr, Hubert HwHarrison, in Harlem
Hospital, recently, atthe age of forty-four years, emphasizes this
phace of the tragedy of living. He Was in the prime of his manhood
and in the-full enjoyment of the splendid reputation he had achieved
in the land of his “adoption ‘for -sghoiarship, oratory, ‘litcrature-and
public spirit. He was one of the most widely knofh scholars of
the race in New York city, and had-served as a staff lecturer-of the
Board of Education of New York city, and as,a special lecturer
‘on “Contemporary Civilization” at.New York University. At one
time he was asrociated with-the literary department of the work of
the Universal Negro Improvement Association. :
His father’s small property-was confiscated by the Danish gov-
‘crnment and at the age of fifteen Dr. Harrison had neither father
nor mother. He was cnabied to travel and make “the grand tour of
the-world,” in a yachtifig party af young spigntists, if 1899. ‘Aided
by a sister who resided here he cathe to New York in 1900 and did
whatever work he could secure while pursiiing systematically his
purpose to secure an eduéation. He was, of course, an indefatigable
student, and remained such to the time of bis death. The distinc
tin he achieved is all the more marvelous beciuse’ of the handicaps.
he had to overcome fo secure ari education axd a place to stand
among men, One of Dr. Harrison’s*hobbies was to Iecture fo the
passing man on the street from what is styled-“The Soap Boss,” and
he became. widely known to the average man in Harlem by.reason.
of these plain talks to the mattenthe. streets. 6. -., .

shall-be ‘happy and wish others tq be happy. It is a condition of
ininid; a protest ‘against the Nemesis, that dogs huinan life. and
mingles some sorrow with every joy, some disappointment with every
pleasure. We are.expected to be trippy, and to wish others to bé,
even WHeH we are not happy and can envisage no possible happiness
in the immediate future, But we get 2 world of satisfaction from
«thinking: we"are happy when-we are not and hoping we shall be
_ happy when thert is no imthediate prospect that we shall-be. There
/ is much in defying the fates and reaching out of the dead year after
life and the joy's it’should contain in the living-year. After all, life
is'stronger than death and the desire to be happy is.stronger than
~ the pressure to be miscrable—the pressure which is ever present with
us, an uninvited guest’ with whom, we have always to reckon. ..
It isa pleasure for. the. staff of The Negro World to wish for all
its readers; for all thosé in authority, and especially for President-
General Marcus Garvey, in his island home, a happy new-year and a
hetter. condition of existence tan they enjoyed in the dead year.
The far-flung membership of the Uriversal-Negro Improvement,
Association can look’ the futare in*thesface with an abiding: faith |
.in the-progressive growth of the principles for which they stand-and
‘for which they’ conitend as-valiant soldiers Strong for the fight and

Negro Boys Long Pursued by
White Women—Condition of
Victims Reported Very Grave
(From The 81. Louis Argus, Dec. 22)
JACKSON, Miss., Dec. 21
George Lewis and Major Pinkison, bellhops at a middle class hotel here, were taken from officers who had arrested them for relations with two white women, by a mob of nearly 100 unmasked white men and mutilated and brutally beaten Saturday. They were left in a serious condition, and physicians of a hospital where they were taken after being picked up by a motorist on a highway, several miles from here, reported their condition as very grave.
According to the most reliable report that could be received here, the colored youths had been pursued by the white women. They had associated with them for some time. Friday a white employee of the hotel learned that they were together in a room in the building and reported it to officers. Officers arrested the youths on a charge of violating the racial purity law when the white girls said that they were in the colored boys' company of their own free will.
It was while the prisoners were being transported from Raymond to this city, that the mob seized them. It was learned that an officer had acted as henchman for the mob and informed them of the officers' movements with their prisoners. No effort was made by the officers to prevent the mob from taking the youths.
Musical African Atmosphere
NEW YORK, Dec. 29.—Critics and lovers of symphonic music are commenting upon the latest work of Ernest Schelling, celebrated pianist and composer, whose "Morocco" was recently performed by the New York Philharmonic Societs, under the button of Prof. Mengelberg. The work is partially distinctive and notable because of the so-called African atmosphere which dominates a sector of the symphony. From the opening oboe, gay, cray, or the final crash, reiterated phrases strongly marked with African rythms characterizes the work. In a measure, Mr. Schelling's symphony might be said partly to ressemble certain portions of Anton Dvorak's New World Symphony. New Yorker Harry T. Burleigh, celebrated Negro composer and baritone, gave much assistance to the composer. It does not appear, however, that any one assisted Mr. Schelling in setting forth any of his new work. C. P. B.

was antithetic to Rabbi Stephen B. Wise at the Free Synagogue in Carnegie Hall yesterday morning, as collapsed to do irreparable hurt to the Jewish people first, and after that, to those better relationships which are growing between Jew and Christian". Dr. Wise pointed out the danger that would result to millions of Jews if the film should be exhibited in Central and Eastern Europe, and called upon the producers to withdraw it from countries in which Jews are almost sure to be the victims of infuriated mobs.
"The King of Kings" is infinitely more damaging than the long-continued Ford labels," he asserted, "because crude and false as these were, they could poison only the minds of the literate. But the King of Kings is hurtful to literate and illiterate alike because of its provocative and embittering with respect to "illiterate or inert literature." Dr. Wise-charged that the picture is full of grave historical inaccuracies and deliberate distortions of the New Testament, "which no profession of good-will on the part of the producer can pallate. The figure of Galapha, he said, is that of a "hidecus, blood-thirsty monster," and in his portrayal the producer has "sinned against history even as he sins against the Jewish people."
"Whether deliberately or not, the tendency of the picture is to draw the character of Jesus and His disciples, as if these were not Jews, and all the other figures in the drama; as if the unloveful, unforgivable alone were Jews."
In the interest of friendship between Christian and Jew it would have been better if the picture had never been produced, Dr. Wiso said. He added that some, but not all, of the worst effects could be mitigated if captions were added to the picture, "to make clear that Calphas was a puppet of Rome, that crucifixion was not a Jewish mode of execution, and that the happenings of 1500 years ago should not be viewed as incipient to hatred." Rabbit Wine urged "the right kind of consultation" hereafter with respect to "a picture that deals with fundamental problems in the life of any religious or racial group in American life. But the one imperative, immediate duty is to withdraw the 'King of Kings' from circulation in those lands in which exhibition would monach the very lives of Jewish multitudes."
Mexico Said to Have Had
Jazz. Many Centuries Aged
PHOENIX, Artz. The aborigines of Mexico may have had their saxophone pests, their "syncoping Sues" and their black bottom days. On the other side of the Rio Grande in the land of revolutions and short-lived presidential candidates the Mexican Irving Berlins were venerated in jazz music thousands of years ago, according to Harold Lyman Brown, archaeologist, of Portland, Me. who stopped here on his way to Chicago from Mexico City. "Excavators in the Mexican valley," Brown said, "have uncertained strange implements which resemble modern instruments of jazz. There discoveries here evidence of a prehistoric race with a propensity for syncopation." Horna made from animal tusks capable of producing weird moans like a saxophone have been found there, he declared. Other instruments resembled modern clarinetis. Brown said that the musical rolls of Mexico Valley would be turned over to the American Museum of Natural History.

Lying a Fine Art In Gascony
There is one point, in the world where the fine point of lying is cultivated. This is Gascany, in the southwest of France, where for hundreds of years the Gascany们 had the reputation of Jiaris and a whopper from any source was called a "gascanade". Far from being ashamed of their fame, the Gascany are proud of it, says the Pathfinder.
They encourage the art of lying, proclaiming that the lying for the pure fun of it is the ideal. Formerly at the village of Monercaheau they had an Academy of Liaris, which awarded decorations to the most distinguished liaris of the country.
They now have it as annual spring for the best efforts of the amateurs are repeated before the old men who are the most competent judges. Stories of snatches beginning at the tail and swallowing themselves until nothing was left; of cats fighting until only the tails remaining wagging, and others equally impossible, form the stakes of the entertainment.
One Gasson told of the destruction of a scorpent in a lake. He said he rolled four bags of lime into the lake, and the scorpent ate them. This makes the scorpent die when he dumps it into the lake, and, of course, could not exist without his element.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 29. Although juvenile court laws affirm that the delinquent child shall not be deemed a original, but a child in need of the care and protection of the State, it appears that in Alabama and North Carolina, delinquent girls below the age of 18 years, except the penitentiary and city and county jails. In Alabama is small private institution known as the "Girls' Rescue Home" is conducted by colored women. Both States, however, maintain training and industrial schools for delinquent girls, other colored girls, and other colored Girls, near Columbia, South Carolina, receives incorrigible colored girls; but this is a private institution and receives only a small amount of State aid.

Deputy Admits Killing Mexicans for Reward
MIDLAND, Tex., Dec. 24-Admission was made today by C. C. Hase, Deputy Sheriff, that the killing of two Mexicans and wounding of another yesterday as they stood in front of a bank in Stanton was a frame-up by which he hoped to win $3,000 standing reward for dead bank robbery in Texas. In a signed statement Base implicated Lee Smith of Wink, who, with Base, has been charged with murder, vicious battery by shooting Vickey Bunson, the bank robbery Mexican said he had, his companions, arrested to stop him in a truck by Bowe and Smith, who offered them work, which he had in the bank in Wink and were paid to sniff the bank and were given permission. The two men had been arrested, by sniffing, and shot without warning.

so much. The greatest creatures who ever graced God Almighty's universe were men who slept and died in prison. The great philosophers, the great reformers, teachers from the time of Socrates to Jesus Christ, and from the time of Jesus Christ to the modern martyrs, all have paid the price. What did the Greeks do to the greatest of their philosophers, Socrates? They gave him the hamlock. Voltaire, Karl Marx, the great poets, they ridiculed him and Tempest. What did the world do to the Christ of Judas? What did the world do to the Greatest, of all Reformers, the Allan Jesus? They buffeted Him, they spat upon Him, they kicked him all around and finally they crucified Him between two thieves. They crucified Him in preference to crucifying Barabbas, the murderer, and simply because he was a reformer and a teacher seeking the salvation of human souls.
What did they do to Budda, that great Indian teacher? They hounded him from one place to another; but that did not kill Buddhism. What did they do to Mohammed? They drove him out of Mecca; but that did not kill Mohammed. Mohammed returned trumpphant to Mecca. Through all the misery, the anger and overkill and killing to pay the price, every bit of it.

Starts Disquieting Rumor
Both representatives of the Pullman porters and officials of the Pullman Company secured a report yesterday that the use of Filipino men in the operating out of Chicago was an inferior wedge in the replacement of the Negro porter by other racial group. At the office of the vice president of the company here it was said that nothing was known of the Chicago action and that no such change was contemplated here.
Representatives of the porters pointed to the difference in the work of a club car porter, who is chiefly a waiter, and a Pullman porter, who handles luggage, and regarded that Orientals did not have the physique to be adaptable for the heavier work.
Scientists to Declare How Much to Wear
LEEDS, England—Now that fashion has reduced feminine apparel to a matter of ounce instead of pounds, scientists are to determine whether the new modes are right or wrong. Experiments have been undertaken in the Department of Textiles Industry at Leeds University to determine what amount of clothing, men and women should wear and what are the most beautiful materials. Proliminary investigations revealed that wool and viscose take up moisture more efficiently than cotton and can hold moisture as long as cotton under the same conditions. Dr. C. W. Salechy, chairman of the Clothing Committee of the New Health society, explains that fabrics will be tested for air containing and transmitting properties, moisture, absorbing and drying properties, heat retention, washbleness and other qualities. The work will take three or four years.

Immigrant's Dream Of 50 Years Realized
PIERRE, S. D.—A dream of over a half century came true for James M. Brown, attorney of Chamberlain, when Governor Bulow announced, his appointment to fill a vacancy on the supreme bench of South Dakota.
More than fifty years ago three Scotch ladies working in a coal mine decided that they would not continue as miners; but would take up the profession of law. In the days of their youth they left Scotland, one going to Australia, one to Canada and the other coming to the United States. Each made good in his profession, and some James Brown lived in an Australian and Canadian immigrants who advanced to the bench of the high court of the countries in which they had located, and James Brown lived for a number of years with a hope of rounding out his life in his life.
Four years ago as a candidate for the supreme bench, he was defeated, but death has stepped in and taken the man who was successful at that time, and the dream of James Brown finally is a reality, through the action of Governor Bulow.
What Chemistry Does For Flapper Women
LONDON.—The "flapper" was described as the patron saint of chemistry by Dr. E. F. Armstrong at the annual dinner of the British Association of Chemists.
"The flapper," he said, "has rings on her fingers with synthetic stones wrought by chemists. She has footwear made of artificial skins wrought by chemists. She has clothing the materials of which were one of the greatest achievements of the chemists. The very sheen of her hair is perhaps synthetic, and on her face are the lingeringness of the products of perhaps the British Dyestuffs Corporation. Almost everything the flapper displays today to our admiring view even to brushes and bangles, is the work of the chemist.

To Lady Simon, wife of Sir John Simon, the British Liberal statesman, is given credit for disclosing to the outside world the conditions existing in the protectorate and making an ardent plea which resulted in the emancipation of the slaves. Many of the older freed men and willows were freed of the fruits of freedom, but thousands of others have new vistas opened to them. Emancipation did not evoke any demonstration. Indeed, their release is not yet fully understood by many of these simple and ignorant blacks. They are rather bewildered by the sudden change. Comparatively few have left their former masters and it is probable that many of them have will depart unless they work as free men and women for those who formerly had their labor without pay.
It is said that in many cases the former slaves will have little difficulty in getting, grants of land, from their old masters. The question of what, for example, should be compensation of the former slave-holders is not yet settled.
What is considered England's most precious relic is the Domesday Book and its chest, kept in the Tudor House in Chancery Lane, London.

9,000 Negro Children Need School Facilities and Board Contemptates With holding Funds, Promises Churches Protest
appeal to the City Board of Education to keep faith with the Negro citizens of Atlanta by giving their schools, as promised a fair proportion of the building fund, of $5,500,000 socially voted, has just been made by the Atlanta nominational body representing thirty of the principal churches of the city. Pointing out that Negroes compose approximately one-third of Atlanta's population, and that in the recent bond election the colored voters, holding the balance of power, threw their support to the bond issue on the solemn assurance that $700,000 of the proceeds would be applied to certain urgent needs of their schools, the Christian Council enters a protest against the present reported plans of the Board to expend on Negro schools less than two-fifths of the sum promised, which it does not not only allow the quota to the not only also deployable brech of faith and denial of justice. The Council points out that of $1,555 Negro children of school age in the city, more than nine thousand are attending schools where two and three sessions a day are held because of inadequate housing facilities.
The petition was signed personally by nearly fifty of the most prominent ministers and laymen of the city. In a rigorous editorial in its support the morning Constitution says: "We must keep faith. This great city cannot afford to act in bad faith with any part of its population, white or black." The Board of Education has not yet acted up the memorial.

The Oakland Division, U. N. L. A. most at Carpenter's Hall on Sunday, December 18, for their regular mass meeting. It was ladies' day, and every one was in high spirits. The very atmosphere was impregnated with the spirit of Garveyism. The meeting began at $ p. m. with Mr. G. E. Iman, president, presiding. The opening ode was sung and the chaplain led in the devotional exercises. The president, after a few opening remarks, introduced the 'lady president,' Mrs. L. Perry, who, in a neat, short speech, welcomed the members, and visitors on behalf of the ladies' day program. She then introduced Mrs. E. Gilbert-as mistress of ceremonies. Mrs. Gilbert, after expounding some of the principles of the organization, called on the president to read the "Objects-and Alma" which were ably explained after being read. Mr. Felix Beckford, a stalwart Garveyite, and a faithful, true disciple was next called upon, and he
fired his hearers with some inspiring words, along the lines of "Negro Nationalism." The choir next fayed with a song, and then came, the reading of "Current Topics" by the intrepid, courageous, and learned commissioner for California, the Hon. A. S. Gray. The topics were highly instructive, inspiring and educative. Special references were made to an address delivered by. Bishop Reyvely C. Ransom, of the A. M. E. Church in Chicago, in which the bishop tried to measure the worth of our noble, grand and illustrious leader, the Hon. Marcus Garvey. The audience listened keenly and with rapt attention.
The choir sang beautifully at the close of Mr. Gray's address, and the speaker of the day in the person of Madame Elizabeth Ford, the great dramatist, was presented. Madame Ford thrilled her hearers in a soustirring, remarkable address, from the subject, "Is Carvoyism Deported?" The applause accorded her at the end of her speech was a tribute worthy of her genius.
The president-general's mossago was then read by Mr. Gray, and the offering was taken while the choir sang. An appeal for now members was then made by Mr. J. Cypralino, first vice-president, and the closing address was made by the president, Mr. G. E. Imman, in which he stressed the urgent need of uniting ourselves as one man under the inspired leadership of our Chief, the Hon. Marcus Garvey, and bobh the banner of the Red, Black and Green. The visitors were then introduced and a united divisional mass meeting of the Wascó and Onkland Divisions on Christmas Day, December 25, 3 p. m., at Carpontors' Hall, was announced. The entire public was cordially invited to attend. The Ethiopian National Anthem was lustily sung and the benediction given by the chaplain. W. A. U. DEANE,

On Sunday, December 4, our Liberty Hall had quite an unusual turnout of members and friends of the U. N. I. A. who had gathered to enjoy a Thanksgiving service given, in honor of our esteemed and recently liberated leader, the Hon. Marcus Garvey. Although this service was not a pre-arranged one, owing to the uncertainty of his release, yet at its close all left feeling amply satisfied. The choir rendered some very appropriate songs, and special mention must be made of Miss Lola Stobbs, our little organist, who displayed great skill in entertaining the audience. The divisions chaplain, Mr. A. L. R. Lobinson, opened the service at 5:30 p. m. in the accustomed way. He took his text from Isaiah ch. 6, verse 3. His talk made a great impression on the hearers, and at the close he cried for three minutes silent prayer. He then, introduced, Mr. S. N. Smith as chairman of the evening.
The chairman, after making a short and bedding address, read Mr. Garvey's message from the Negro World. This was listened to with rapt attention, and we could hear voices saying "God bless the man."

Morrison; trio by Miss Davis and others; address by Mr. Daley; song by choir; address by D. James Gordon. Mr. D. S.

I am appealing to all converted and race-conscious Negroes to fall in line and support the movement'morally and financially. News of his recent release from prison has been broadcast throughout the world. It goes to show that God has heard our prayers. Let us uphold his hands, believing that he has been divinely sent and must be divinely protected. I here pledge my earnest support as President of the Guantanamo Division to see to it that my followers do all in their power to further carry the mission. I will holly begin by our beloved leader, the Hon. Marcus Garvey. I appreciate the splendid stand taken by the executive heads during his absence, and the courage, sea-land devotion to duty of Madame Amy Jacques Garvey.

First Train Equipped With
Airbrakes Was Wrecked
When George M. Westinghouse was 21 years old he invented the air brake, which is said to have been suggested to his mind by a railroad wreck he chanced to witness, and by an article on pneumatics in a discarded magazine that he happened to pick up while traveling. The story is, says C. Francis Jankins, in Popular Mechanics Magazine, that he offered the air brake to an official who was at that period one of the foremost among American railroad men.
"Do you mean, to tell me," said the official, "that you can stop a railroad train with wind?" "Well, yes, if you choose to put it that way," replied young Westinghouse, "have no time to waste on fools" said the magnate, terminating the interview.
Nevertheless, the first train experimentally equipped with the air brake stopped so suddenly that it was wrecked. The air brake made high-speed railroad possible, and is reckoned to have saved more lives than Napoleon lost in all his battles.

How Do Garvey's Betrayers Feel Now?
To the Editor of The Morning Whistle:
It is high time for everyone well thinked Negro to look and see and have his himself. Importantly those who have any pride or love for their race. One cannot help wondering how those Negro feel who have caused such unjust, treatment to the Hon. Morrey Garvey and have betrayed their race. Do not their hearts burn with them? Surely, if they have hearts, they must.
After the pardon of Mr. Garvey he was even refused permission to come to his home. Deporting him shows plainly that White America is afraid of him. "The wicked feeth when no man-purueth." We are not a bit abashed. This makes the fire burn brighter and with a stronger determination that Africa shall be free. When the young men and spiritual engineers returned to Jerusalem and built the walls and the Temple they made if possible to Chagir to return. When the Negro shall return to Africa under the direction of God and the leadership of Marcus Garvey, or his representative, then shall Ethiopia stretch forth her hands unto God and His kingdom shall come.
I must express myself, as a loyal Garveyer, to many of our group far and near. After one has read many of our Negro-weekly papers, many of us are moved to action on behalf of our wonderful leader and organization in the uplift and upbuilding of this race of men. Some of these gentlemen are not only well educated but sent away in exile to cease his activities for African redemption. I wonder how, in the name, of reason can some of our so-called learned men have, or entertain, such thought at this serious hour? Can man exile Providence, Nature, God, or a righteous cause, whatever you may call it? Then why appear foolish by trying to hold Garvey up to ridicule? Has not Garvey proven his worth to you as well as me? Why not be fair?
Garvey in the champion of champions. These learned men prate about nineteenth-centuryism and negregation. Will they be able to carry to stop it? You have the opportunity. Those white gentlemen would send you to shake hands with Saint Peter.
We of the Universal Negro Improvement Association realize that lynching and burning of innocent people should be stopped; and that is why we are organizing under the leadership of Marcus 'Garvey, our greatest and noblest leader. I trust lynching will stop in due time. The talk of Chicago editors and others will not stop lynching. Present to the world a united front and you can rest easy in Mississippi, Alabama, Georgia and the rest of the world. Some of our so-called Negro professors and editors try to ridicule a man like Garvey, who has suffered crucifixion and rose on the wings of time and took his flight to other shores, to build a harrier-Universal Negro Improvement Association. To us, Garvey was not deported; but, like the

Let Us Now Hold Up Our Leader's Hands
Formerly we have in our valuable column, the "Mouthpiece of the Negro Race" to express may high appreciation of the indomitable determination of our leader, the Hon. Marous Garvey.
I am one who believes in the doctrines, principles, aims and objects of the Universal Negro Improvement Association and African Communities League. Mr. Garvey has suffered, like other great reformers, for a righteous cause. He belle, as in the Supreme Court of the universe, the Creator of World History, and his pathy with all oppressed peoples. His incarceration has increased his determination to fight the more for a free and redeemed Africa.

Guanantao, Cuba.
PHILADELPHIA, Pa., Dec. 26 (Special Correspondence))—Rodman Wanamaker of this city has again offered $1,000 in prizes for composers of the Negro race, the offer, as was the case last year, being made through the Robert Curtis Ogden Association, an organization composed of Negro employees of the John Wanamaker store, Philadelphia. This is the second offer of the kind made by Mr. Wanamaker, who inaugurates a similar plan, being the most excellent compositions in a variety of forms. This year, however, Mr. Wanamaker has made several radical modifications in the offer as compared with last year, by increasing the prizes in some instances and lowering the numbers of classifications. The National Association of Negro Musicians, Inc., is working with the Robert Curtis Ogden Association in making public the terms of the contest. This was also done last season and the names of the winners of the prize were announced at the national convention of that organization last August in St. Louis.
This year there are four classifications instead of five as was the case in the first contest, with three prizes to each class, making twelve in all. The four this year are as follows: Class 1, a composition for orchestra; Class 2, a love song for one voice with accompaniment optional with the composer; Class 3, a group for miscellaneous voices for one or more instruments; Class 4, a composition for band. In all of these classifications the widest possible latitude is allowed the composers in all respects except as to the instruments or voices for which they shall write.
The compositions intended for Class 1 must be a work scored for full orchestra, that is, an orchestra containing as a minimum number of instruments the full complement of woodwind, brass and string parts of a symphony orchestra, although extra instruments may be used at the option of the composer. They may be a symphony or orchestra, and may be in averture, et cetera, and may be in one or more movements. The prizes for this class are: First prize, $250; second prize, $100, and third prize, $56.
Compositions submitted for Class 2 must be a vocal solo for one voice only. Instrumental compositions will not be considered in this classification as they were last year. The accompaniment may be for piano, orchestra, at cetera, and obligate instruments may be used as the composer desires, but they are not necessary to make the composition eligible for a prize. The prizes in this class are: First prize, $100; second prize, $75, and third prize, $50. However, it is required that the composition be a musical piece. Poets will words uncompanied and dramatic, will not be considered under any circumstances.
Class 2 is for instrumental compositions only. Works submitted may be in any form, dance, sonata, or miscellaneous, and may be written for solo instruments with any accompaniment desired by the composer or for groups of instruments which, however, must not exceed ten in number. The prizes in this class are: First prize, $100; second prize, $75; third prize, $50.
Compositions submitted for Class & must be for a full brass band and any type of composition is eligible, a theme and variations, a march or any other form preferred by the composer. The prices here are: First price, $100; second price, $75, and third price, $50. No more than one composition rhythmically and harmonically will have some weight with the judges, but quality of music thought and workmanship will have the first consideration. The Negro idiom is preferable, but not essential. All compositions submitted must be in the hands of the Robert Curtis Ogden Association of the John Wannamaster store of Philadelphia not later than midnight of June 1, 1928.

Some birds are things of beauty, others are predation, and many more feed interesting and compensatable, but the scientists tested and weighted them all in proportion to their worth or benefit to agriculture.
With cotton as its principal crop, the South is interested in enclosures of the cotton insects—the cotton bell worm, the bell worm, the chickbags bugs. Orioles, swallows, blackbirds, needles, larks, tillars and Carolina worms are some of the most important, though 68 species are listed as known to pray to a greater or less degree on the weath, and 41 on the cotton worm.
White grubs injure corn and also damage garden crops. Fifty-seven kinds of bird policemen feed on either the grub or on the adult forms known as May beetles. Night hawks, chickwills wildows, crows and screech owls feed voraciously on the adults; and crows, crow blackbirds and robins favor the grubs. The night hawk or bull-bet is a bird that has been persecuted by ants or cannibals but can scientific studies show the feeding habits of this bird show that, as one of the most useful of birds, it deserves the strictest protection.
Magnetis seven feet long are to be bung under state highway trucks in South Dakota in an effort to clear the roads of bits of metal that might puncture tires. In a test run of 20 miles such a magnet picked up 200 pounds of iron and steel scraps.
POISON BLOOD
H. H. Von Schilch, herb specialist and manufacturer of the famous Bulgarian Herb (Blood) Tea, tells people that almost all diseases are caused by impure, poisoned blood. When the stomach is sick you feel miserable, you are constipated and the poisons go into the blood. When the liver refuses to work the poisons go into the blood; when the kidneys are weak and out of order more poison goes into the blood and the result is that your body is sick all over. For many years I have been telling people sick with disease caused by poisoned blood that my Bulgarian Herb (Blood) Tea gives relief to those who suffer from stomach, liver, kidney and blood troubles. I say to every man and woman that suffers from sickness to try my Bulgarian Herb (Blood) Tea—millions of people will use no other medicine—they know that the roots, barks, leaves, herbs, plants and flowers are pure and help to make them well again.
Go to your druggist today! Tell him you want Bulgarian Herb (Blood) Tea. He will be glad to supply you because he knows it is good medicine for the slick. It costs only a few cents. Doctors and druggists everywhere recommend my Bulgarian Herb (Blood) Tea as the best remedy anyone can take to kill a cold. Don't go down with "Flu" Gripple or Pneumonia. Kill your cold with a hot dose of Bulgarian Herb (Blood) Tea. Just ask your druggist for a box today. It will either be small pouch, 1 large box for $1.00, or by mail C. O. D., just pay the postman.

When it is given temperature for a businessperson to bring it home by selling tobacco and cigarettes alone; therefore, invariably in Paris you buy your smoking goods at little prices, wifeshop, newspaper stalls or restaurants, where the tobacco sale is beneficial to the main business. There and very few two round tobacco shops, now one has been opened in luxury hotels, many kinds of foreign tobacco and cigarettes on sale, but even in this case the tobacco business itself is a luxury, for most of the profits come from the sale of expensive smokery supplies. This new shop is on the Champa-Elysees and is a great novelty to the Parisian.
